DuPont Pioneer gives $5,000 to Stark County 4-H

The Stark County 4-H Club has received a $5,000 donation from DuPont Pioneer for the club’s Bradford park project.

The money will go toward replacing and adding equipment to allow more children to play safely.

“Updating the town park is a tremendous opportunity to support family life, health, and safety,” said Robyn and Lance Gentle of Gentle Seed Sales in Bradford.

“This project will benefit the residents of Bradford and surrounding communities. We are proud to support this community project.”

“Project Park is a great opportunity to improve our community and for the 4-H youth to be part of giving back to make things better for future generations,” said Stark County 4-H leader Marjie Loudenburg. “This is the same park many of the 4-Hers played on as small children and still do, and therefore, (the project) is especially meaningful.”

Pioneer donates to community-based organizations on behalf of the business and employees. Pioneer outreach grants go to communities where Pioneer representatives, employees and customers live and work, for projects that support quality-of-life initiatives.
